I just discovered there's a website with a full list of every single bridge that exists in Amsterdam, along with photos and descriptions. For some reason I find this funny and equally charming. Amsterdam is a city built with hundreds of canals, so the idea of having a site recording each of them is a nice dedication to the cultural heritage of the city, almost like a love letter to the bridges.

Hey everyone!

If you haven't had the chance to visit the Amsterdam Canals, you're in luck - there's a new Youtube video that takes you on a virtual canal cruise tour of the city. The video shows the entire route, and it's just like being there in person!

The Amsterdam Canals are a UNESCO World Heritage site, and for good reason. These beautiful waterways wind their way through the heart of the city, passing by historic buildings, charming bridges, and picturesque parks.

And the best way to experience the canals is on a canal cruise. The video captures all the sights and sounds of a typical cruise, from the gentle splash of the water to the serene beauty of the city at night. You'll feel like you're right there on the boat, taking in the sights and soaking up the atmosphere.

So if you're looking to add the Amsterdam Canals to your bucket list, or just want to relive the magic of a canal cruise, be sure to check out this Youtube video. It's the next best thing to being there in person!

al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #1151

first posted in facebook january 28, 2023

thérèse schwartze -- "portrait of lizzy ansingh" (1902)

"of crucial importance were the upbringing and training she received from her father, johan george schwartze [...] he had studied painting with no less a master than emanuel leutze before moving to düsseldorf for further study. like a modern 'tennis father,' johan began drilling thérèse from the age of five" ... cora hollema

"i will apply myself more to everything so as, with god’s blessing, to be able to earn by living by … painting, and i also hope i will not irritate you any more with foolish things, but will try to become a worthy daughter and to please you with my art" ... thérèse schwartze

"she exhibited a lot, received multiple awards and was a member of many artists’ associations and committees. one of them was amsterdamse joffers, women painters who met weekly to paint and show and discuss their works together. the meetings took place in thérèse schwartze’s house and she was a star of the group. llzzy ansingh, the artist’s niece and student, was a member as well" ... europeana

"yet no matter how favourable the reviews of her work were, there was often an undercurrent of condescension, particularly from male critics (as most critics were). this often took the form of extravagantly high praise, followed immediately by an expression of head-shaking amazement that such high-quality work could actually have been created by a mere woman" ... philip mccouat

"it was lizzy [ansingh] who has done everything she could to honor her aunt’s name and art after her aunt’s death in 1918. she initiated an idea for a commemoration exhibition at the stedelijk museum in amsterdam in 1919, made sure a street in amsterdam was named after thérèse schwartze and she founded the thérèse schwartze foundation, commemorating the painter, supporting dutch visual artists and preserving the dutch portrait art" ... europeana

"you make me dizzy, miss lizzy" ... larry williams

"the more i learn about art history, the more despicable i find HIStory" ... al janik

De Momentenvanger met de Losse Pols: Frans Hals

Frans Hals, de man met de prachtig losse schilderspols en de grandioze vanger van momenten. Op een niet te missen indrukwekkende expositie in het Rijksmuseum. As 't effe kan, GAAN!! In TOOS&ART van deze week een voorproefje. #kunst#art#expo#Rijksmuseum

Heb je dat ook wel eens? Zo’n plots als-idee? Stel nou eens dat iets juist wel of juist niet zou zijn gebeurd, wat zou dan het gevolg zijn geweest? Mij overkwam ‘t toen ik laatst rondliep op de grote expositie over Frans Hals (1582/84-1666). In het Amsterdamse Rijksmuseum (nog tot 9 juni). Als nou eens dat Spaanse huurlingenleger in 1585,Tachtigjarige Oorlog weet je wel , de zo belangrijke…
